Installing MIT Scheme 7.4 on GNU/Linux Intel


The standard binary package linux.tar.gz was compiled on a system running Debian GNU/Linux 1.3.1. The executables in that package are ELF binaries, and they depend on the following shared libraries:

If you are running on a system that supports ELF and has these libraries, you should be able to use the standard binary package.

Alternatively, if you don't have "libX11.so.6", but you do have the other libraries, you can use the standard binary package linux-no-x.tar.gz.

Otherwise, you will have to compile executables for your system, by following these directions:

  1. Download standard binary package linux.tar.gz and also download the source package linux-ucode-src.tar.gz.
    
    
  2. Unpack the source package and compile it:
    tar xzf linux-ucode-src.tar.gz
    cd microcode
    make
    
    Notes:
    
    
    
  3. Unpack the standard binary package and copy the new executables into it:
    cd ..
    tar xzf linux.tar.gz
    cp -fp microcode/scheme microcode/bchscheme dist-7.4/bin/.
    
  4. Now install the modified binary package according to the enclosed directions.
